Assurances Given for Completion of Tseriou Avenue Works by End of March

The Parliamentary Committee on Transport, Communications and Works has received assurances that the works on Tseriou Avenue in Nicosia and the connecting roads will be completed by the end of March. MP Christos Christofides of AKEL stated that if the works are not completed by then, accountability will be sought. The Committee discussed the impact of the road works on traffic, the delays and the inconvenience caused to citizens. Mr. Christofides mentioned that residents and businesses in the area have suffered significant inconvenience and economic damage due to the delays. Concern was expressed about the phenomenon of contractors undertaking many projects simultaneously and being unable to complete them on time, resulting in delays and requests for additional fees. Mr. Christofides proposed imposing penalties on contractors who do not meet deadlines and inflate project costs. The Committee stressed the need for public works to be completed on time and within the initial budget, in order to avoid inconvenience to citizens and waste of public funds.
